Rod Wave’s SoulFly (Alamo/Geffen/Interscope) is a lock for #1 on Friday’s HITS Top 50 and could double the opening of his previous release, Pray 4 Love. That album debuted with 72k in April 2020 and has amassed 1.3m in album equivalents to date. We’re projecting that SoulFly will generate at least 175m audio streams, with a chance to break 200m and send its total even higher.
Rod Wave (Alamo/Geffen/Interscope) 125-150k total activity, 2-4k albums
NF (NF Real Music/Virgin) 70-85k, 55-65k
Carrie Underwood (Capitol Nashville) 55-70k, 50-60k
